    Hi William - in Reply on Revelation 4 You stated

    "When translated from Hebrew to Greek ,then Latin and in to English this is the name they used,Jesus .However there is no letter J in the Hebrew or Greek alphabet, so therefore the name Jesus never existed back in this time,the letter J only came on the scene appx 500 years ago .The Messiah was called by his true name ."

    You are in part correct but The modern pronunciation also is not what it was. J was originally pronounced as "Y" as in the Hebrew yod. When I was young we still understood this, as with Johann Sebastian Bach -which Was pronounced Yohann, etc.

    Language changes in all religions even modern Hebrew and greek are not exact to their ancient meanings nor pronunciations. Most of us understand His Name was Yeshua HaMashiach as found in ancient texts But, Jesus hears our hearts and Knows who he is... whether it is said in hebrew, greek. or english. Just as when we hear someone of foreign language try to speak our names. Yeshua means Salvation that is Who He is.. Obviously you have the gift of studying the Word, and can Help others come to the word through your Study, Please Don't get lost in the little things When we need to set our eyes on HIM especially as the time is Nigh. He is Coming soon , I pray you can put your heart back to bring those still seeking. to the Gospel , Time now is to cease division among us and instead time to strengthen the brethren. God bless you and Keep You.

    names and titles used. Its important to see man work in the changes in the scriptures.

    I agree with your explaination of letter J. When I found out it was more serious than that.

    Christianity started in a gentile area called Antioch. what scripture say this.....

    "And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."

    now who started christianity... from much praying.. and then searching i came to

    Acts 6:5

    "And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:"

    stephen was killed and believers were scattered and Nicolas returned to Antioch and that when the first christians started.. Nicolas.. st Nicolas.. ..Santa claws. brings in christmasn xmas tree ( Jeremiah 10:1-9), easter replaces passover feast of the unleaven bread. easter and xmas are paigans.

    this I now know Paul

    didn't identify himself as a christian be was a believer and follower of the WAY.

    Acts 24:14

    "But this I confess unto thee, that after the WAY which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:"

    John 1:1 and 14

    John 1:1

    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

    "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

    John 14:6

    "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

    The disciples were believers who followed the WAY. the WORD that became flesh is the truth Messias.

    Revelation 19:13

    "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
